Heelys on a senior citizen :)

August 7th 2011 00:33
Tennis shoes with wheels! Heelys.

Today at the thrift store, I found a pair of Heelys in my size. Nearly new. bwa ha ha "Heelys" is the imprint on the back and on the inside. I never knew what they were called. Now I do. Knowing the name, I saw several other pair there too. Smaller. Worn out.

I've always said if those came in my size I'd have a pair. Now I do. I'm 50 . A
card carrying AARP member!

I'm no dummy. I expected these will take some practice. Not practice like a bicycle, more like a unicycle. Yes, I learned how to ride one of those when I was 13, I still have one, and I can still ride it. But how do you practice walking on marbles? My dear hubby saw me in the garage, he's going to take out a new life insurance policy on me. I think a tailbone and hip injury policy would be enough.


I want to glide thru the grocery store like all those 10 year olds.

Will I?

Bwa ha ha

Our tax dollars in Haiti

January 20th 2010 04:44
Really Long Link


We should all send this link to President Obama and ALL U.S. politicians in charge so we can get out and save the american taxpayers a couple hundred million $. Tell this guy, it wouldn't hurt my feelings any to keep that money at home since they don't need it.

WHO would complain first if the U.S. left Haiti tomorrow? I mean every single u.s. citizen there in any kind of relief role. I'd bet it would be Mr. Danto.

Overall, I find this depressing.

Not good enough

January 16th 2010 04:45
The USA as a country and its people as a whole have given so much to so many in record time that we are no longer capable of giving enough or getting it there fast enough.

By the same token whatever we do in regards to environmental concerns will never be good enough.

All in the eyes of the world or our own press.

Shrinking retail packaging! grrrrrrr!

August 14th 2009 23:43
Is anyone getting disgusted with the ever shrinking size of consumer product packaging these days?

Yeah, we know it's been going on for years, but do the manufactures think we're really so stupid that we don't notice

Cambridge police incident

July 25th 2009 03:57
Today I am satisfied with President Obamas handling of the situation after his unfortunate comments about the Cambridge police incident involving black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. After stirring up a hornets nest, with derogatory comments about the behavior of Cambrdige police officer Sgt. James Crowley, I believe he (Pres Obama) has said enough. He has criticized both sides now when he commented publicly, that he thought Gates, too, had overreacted to the police who questioned him. (NANCY BENAC, Associated Press Writer)

It’s too bad there IS still racial profiling. We know it's true. It’s too bad those with a closed mind react so aggressively and poorly at the slightest provocation. Whites who bristle instantly at the black person who questions the motive of a policemans action. Those who decide “guilty!” before hearing the first fact. Blacks who instantly and without thought call any situation the “black mans nightmare” when their behavior is in question. This is behavior that immediately brands them as close minded in my book. I’m sad for them

CIA interrogating terror suspects

April 21st 2009 03:34
According to the declassified memos, waterboarding was used on alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Muhammed 183 times in March 2003. Suspected al-Qaida logistics chief Abu Zubaydah was subjected to the treatment 83 times in August 2002.

Someone should tell Obama this treatment wasn't nearly harsh enough. What does he (Obama) think we should do? apologize? Does he really think we should prosecute our own CIA agents for doing their job
